Police Add Charges After Blogger Standoff

City police have filed a new charge against the man who was arrested after a weekend standoff that was broadcast on the internet.

47 year old Frank MacArthur was taken into custody after negotiations went on for hours between him and officers trying to serve a warrant while he was holed up at his home along McKewin Avenue on Saturday.

As the standoff continued, MacArthur tweeted and streamed on his website, complete with blow-by-blow commentary.

Now police have charged him with having an illegal firearm.

That's after officers found a shotgun in his home they said had not been properly registered.
